It is thought that Pistorius lived on the Silverwoods Country Estate, which directly adjoins Silver Lakes.

Prices for homes can be up to nine million South African rand (£650,000) for a five-bedroom property.

As well as its golf course, Silver Lakes estate has tennis courts, a driving range, a restaurant, a squash club and a fishing club, as well as a "social responsibility committee".

The estate incorporates a wildlife reserve, and in recent years new lakes have been built and existing ones enlarged to turn the estate into a wildlife haven, inhabited by rare birds such as African spoonbills, mongooses and giant African bullfrogs.
